3. Member Status
There are two types of status every Rogue Cell member carries; Full and Probationary. Team Rank and Member Status are independent in nature; that is, one is not affected by the other. A Team Member can hold a high rank, yet still be on Probationary status. The status types are defined below:
A. Probationary Member: a Team Member that has officially joined the team and played their first game as a Rogue Trooper, yet has not completed six months of membership or purchased a uniform. Probationary Members are not allowed to vote on team matters. During probation, team membership can be revoked at the sole discretion of the Team Commander.
B. Full Member: a Team Member that has completed six months of membership, played in at least three official team events, and has purchased a uniform. Full Members are allowed to vote on matters of team importance. After achieving Full Member status, team membership can only be revoked by a majority vote.
C. Honorary Member: a Team Member that has been honorably released from the roster, yet wishes to play with the team on a part-time basis, or a friend/family member of a Team Member that can only occaisionally attend events. Honorary members cannot be members of other paintball teams.
Team Membership can only be maintained by attending five official events per calendar year. Should a team member fail to attend the required amount of games, membership will be revoked.
4. Discharge of Membership
Any Full Member can move to discharge any other Team Member. If the Team Member holds Full Member status, discharge can only be approved by a majority vote. Should the Team Meber in question hold Probationary Status, only the Team Commander's approval is required. There are two types of discharge.
A. Honorable: should a Team Member voluntarily discontinue membership while in good standing with Rogue Cell, the discharge is considered Honorable. Future membership shall be allowed.
B. Dishonorable: should an individual's membership be revoked for punitive reasons, the discharge shall be considered Dishonorable and future membership will be impossible.
Article III: Recruiting
All Rogue Cell Members are enlisted on an invitational basis. Only the Team Commaner can officially invite an individual to join the team, however all Rogue Cell Members are considered recruiters and can suggest or identify potential Rogue Prospects. If an individual is offered an official invitation by the Team Commander, he/she must accept by following all proper channels dictated by the Team Commander. Any deviation from the channels provided by the Team Commander will be considered an invalid acceptance and disregarded. Upon acceptance of an invitation from the Team Commander, the Prospect must complete one official team event before gaining Probationary status and assigned to a fire team as a Rogue Trooper.
Article IV: Events
Events are classified as official and unofficial.
A. Official events are any scenarios that are declared on the Upcoming Schedule. Team Members should, but are not required to, attend all official events. Official events are counted toward individual membership requirements.
B. Unofficial events are any event not posted on the schedule; i.e. open days, non-scheduled scenarios, outlaw games, etc. Unofficial events do not count toward individual membership requirements. Team members are not required to attend unofficial events, but may do so only if it does not conflict with an official event.
Scheduling official events is the responsibility of the Team Commander only. The Team Commander will attempt to schedule at least one official event per month, or twelve events per year.
Training Camp is an official event and will be scheduled annually. All Rogue Cell members are required to attend, barring personal hardship.
Article V: Rules & Regulations
Strength & Honor! Rogue Cell aheres to a strict code of conduct, on and off the field of play. This code of coduct, rule set, and charter will be read by every Prospect and obeyed by Team Members. Should any of the rules or code of conduct be broken by a Team Member during an event (any paintball game or practice), it will result in a written warning that will be signed and acknowledged by the offending player. Severity of the offense could be cause for immediate dismissal. Should a second occurence of the same offense take place, a second written and acknowledged warning will be issued and filed. On the third same offense, the player will be put to a Discharge Vote.
All house rules of the field being played upon shall be treated the same as Rogue Cell regulations. Violations of field rules will be treated as violations of the Rogue Cell Charter and regulations. Multiple field rule violations made, no matter the location of the field, shall be treated as subsequent and repetitive violations and held to the 3 Strike Policy.
All Rogue Cell members are required to attend the safety/game briefings that are customary before each event, no matter the skill level of the player or how oten the field is visited. Listen attentively, even though most of the rules are the same from field to field. These actions display respect and professionalism. Lead by example, Rogues. As we grow in size and reputation, we become moe visible and are held to higher standard. That's what seperates us from the rest of the pack. Strength & Honor!
